Police said Patrick Taylor, 55, was driving at a high rate of speed on Pleasant Street when he drove through the center of the Opera House Square parking lot and fountain area.

His car crossed the opposite side of Opera House Square and struck another vehicle and the Moody professional building, police said.

Michael Hammond, owner of Faro's Deli, said he was stunned by what happened.

"I was just making some sandwiches, and all of a sudden there was a loud explosion, and glass shattered in the restaurant and it seems like a car came over the median and crashed into the building," Hammond said.

Business owners are livid, but grateful knowing that the crash could have been so much worse.

"This is the central part of town. This is where all local business is. The local people," Hammond said. "I'm glad no one got hurt. It could have been really bad."

Taylor was arrested and charged with DWI and resisting arrest, police said. Investigators said additional charges could be filed.
